Bitumen is primarily used as a binder in road construction along with other
applications such as electronics, waterproofing for roofing, and in adhesives
due to its resistance to water, insulation properties and high durability. The
properties of bitumen can be altered by adding polymers to it, thus,
increasing its application scope.

The report forecasts and analyzes the bitumen market on a global and regional
level. The forecast demand onthe global level is based on volume (million
tons) and revenue (USD billion) for the period from 2012 to 2018. For better
understanding of the market on a regional level, the market has been
forecasted based on volume (kilo tons) and revenues (USD million) for the same
time period. The study covers the drivers and restraints of the bitumen market
and their impact on the growth of the market during this time period. In
addition, the study includes opportunities available for the market on a
regional and global level and its effect in the above mentioned time period.

For better understanding of the bitumen market, we have given a detailed
analysis of the value chain. Moreover, a detailed Porters five forces model
offers a better understanding of the intensity of competition present in the
market. The study also comprises of a market attractiveness analysis, where
the applications are benchmarked based on their market scope, growth rate and
general attractiveness.

The bitumen market has been segmented based on its product types, application
and geography. All product type segments have been analyzed and forecast based
on volumes (million tons) for the time period ranging from 2012 to 2018. In
addition, application segments have been analyzed and forecasted on current
trends on a global and regional level, for the same period. Geographically,
the market has been segmented into North America, Europe, China, Asia Pacific
(excluding China) and Rest of the World. China is considered as a separate
segment under regional analysis owing to high consumption of bitumen in the
country. China accounts for over 60% of the bitumen consumption of the Asia
Pacific market. Analysis and forecast is based on current trends, and ranges
over a period from 2012 to 2018.
